1632 Miles & 10 points

Bless me dear god of blogging for i have sinned it has been forever since i last posted and all of my readers will have left me now for pastures far far greener.
Don't worry son , if you write it they will return and read.
So here we go again
The season so far in brief
Well someone else did the maths and told me that i have travelled 1632 miles so far this season and as i have said elsewhere it is as usual totally worthwhile. the football has at best been very good , at worse dull in capital letters and overall just above average. the return of 10 pts so far is excellent and if it carries on at that level then should bring forth over 40 away points which is title winning form , as long as we turn up when we play at the walks.
Bashley . Well the train took the strain and enabled a few cherryades to be sunk during the day, it also meant that we had no traffic problems except getting back to the bar for another beverage.The game was destroyed by the weather and a good point was earned.No more comment as the day is a bit fuzzy in the memory.
Corby . What a hole this place is, the bar hasn't changed since my first visit many years ago and I really do hate running tracks around football pitches. Getting in took forever, bless the retirement home that let the turnstile operator out on a night visit ( nice to see his letter from the Queen pinned up at the back of the booth) .We were just in when The boy wonder Francis lashed in the first goal. Good physical fare followed and the result was totally just.
The home fans well ...... at least they now have some I suppose. Singing about drinking a fizzy drink that could corrode American bridges... what is all that sad shit about?
Yate . A terrific summers day that meant the sun cream made a surprise appearance led on to an even better day with finally a league win at this conifer lined graveyard. Some good football with a lovely JT goal to start followed by a DB special from 1 yard meant a smiling journey home.And the journey got better when Tewksbury's finest "Abbey Fryer" was discovered alive and still serving fine fare by a 38 year old man needing his first portion of chips for more than 3 weeks.
Rugby . One game too far for two sides that looked like they needed to spend the afternoon in the pub relaxing and not having to entertain restless natives and even more restless tourists.
A point would of been a fair result but without getting cliched things don't happen like that , especially if you are a KLFC fan. Well a few frothy bevvies helped ease the pain so not all was lost.
Tiverton . After travelling the M5 car park forever a win was the only option to keep matrimonial matters afloat and the team obliged . In a game where the referee pulled up the brutal Tivvy every time they kicked the crap out of a kings lynn player , the lads did the 15 travellers proud with a quality performance on a snooker table pitch ( and I don't mean like those down paige stair lane that slope at the corners)
Two Stars so far have been
JT - absolute quality, works his arse off as well.
CD - magnificent and gets better every game , there is no way that Crane should waltz straight back into the side.
The whole side has performed well in testing conditions combined with massive amounts of travelling.
Let the season continue in the same vein at Brackley tonight.
